All at once I had (E)it all, but it does n’t mean (A)an y thing now that you’re gone. From a bove, seems I had (E)it all, but it does n’t mean (A)an y thing since you’re gone.

Should a been there, should a been there, should a, should a... All at once I know I pushed you a way; what can I do that will save our (Amaj7)love?

All at I had it all, but it does n’t mean (A)an y thing now that you’re gone. From a bove, seems (E)I had it all, but it (C#m)does n’t mean (A)an y thing since you’re gone.
